Money Web Issue #4: your weekly round up of the best of British blogging

There’s an increasingly big and brilliant haul of stories and advice out there about the pounds in our pockets. Each week, we’ll scour the best of the UK’s personal finance blogs and tell you what caught our eye.

Good With Money

Mind and Money: Healthy? Why your bank balance will be too

Good with money is a blog dedicated to helping people make their money go further. It was set up by Lisa Stanley and Becky O’Connor who both worked in comms and financial services previously.
